What's your next holy grail item?
Ok, now that canvention is over (sorry I missed it), what's on the top of your list for your collection for 2020? I don't have just one, but many, and knowing my luck, I'll get none of them, but you'll never know until you try. So, without further adieu, here's what I'll be looking for:
Cans: Regal India Ale (from the Regal Amber brewery of San Francisco)
Either of the 2 metallic Poth's cans
Any English Lad can (flat, cone or quart)
Any Carnegie can (12oz cone or quart cone)
Tap Knobs: Goldenrod
Blue & white Narragansett
Red & white Narragansett
St. Claire
Indian Queen from Hohenadel
Trays: Circular Hohenadel can with a hot dog behind a glass of beer
Cavalier tray for Hop Gold (circular)
Pre Pro Ruppert that's an upright oval tray with an eagle with upswept wings like a "V" on a barrel of beer
And I would really like another Golden West light from Oakland. Gee, that wasn't so painful! Still, I think I've got better chances to win the lottery. Good luck to everybody and I hope you all find something for your collections in the upcoming year!

Re: What's your next holy grail item?
Excellent question. I look forward to seeing everyone's responses.
There are plenty of cans I would like to get in 2020 but I know some things are very unlikely to happen (Fox DeLuxe OD from Grand Rapids). Instead, here are two cans I would like to find in off grade condition.
Pfeifer dark sailboat
Pfeifer snow skier

Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.

Re: What's your next holy grail item?
I want the Glory B can that the guy found. Made a good offer, but he prefers a trade for stuff I don’t have...yet! We shall see what happens. I’m not greedy here, I just had the can before and would like it back now that I’m collecting again...
I rather like a few cans in the up coming auction too, but I better not say which ones just yet.
Kiewel’s and Red Wing too...

Re: What's your next holy grail item?
I've had a great year. Added at least 2 cans I wasn't sure I'd ever be able to get. Super happy. So for next year I'd like to add a Playmate Malt Liquor. Anything else is gravy.
Sure there are others but I'm trying to be realistic.

Re: What's your next holy grail item?
2019 has been a good year, picked up 4 cans that may have made this short list, and still some months to go!
Setting aside a Red Cap Ale 16 which is #1 for sure, probably top grail cans
- Minty Golden Gate 16 - either variation
- Minty Red/Gold Champagne Velvet - Red/Gold
- Regal Select softop 16 - Blue color on the Newest....
- 15 oz Schlitz from LA
- Any Miami Natty Boh 16 -
- Krueger Beer - Gumdrop - from Cranston
Oh and a 14oz National or 14oz Draft by National would always be nice!!

Re: What's your next holy grail item?
Well, one of them showed up on ebay, the Ruppert tray. Sadly, It sold for over 2K, well over what I could afford, so I'll just have to wait until another shows up.

I only know of two Mountaineer Football cans - standing and running. Those are the only ones mentioned in this reference I found on Sports Cans by Bruce Remick BCCA #7549. It has 68 pages and only mentions "Mountaineer" on page 18 for College Football.

Re: What's your next holy grail item?
I'd like to get solid cans- that you can at least tell are Apache and Red Wing cones.
The Apache in the 7 Most Rusted thread looks a lot like one I wish I didn't get rid of.... dooh....

Interested in breweriana with Native American images or language of all kinds.

Leon - that is a cool can - is it paper or foil label or real paint - I've not seen it in person. There are a few test 16s I'd like to own for sure - but I'm not sure I venture into paper labels.
Collector of Nebraska cans and breweriana, Colorado cans, tall straight steel US cans, and cans I like!

Re: What's your next holy grail item?
This type of info is why I fought the BCCA for years to share non-BCCA publications with the collecting community, instead of locked in some basement. The following is from Brewery Collectibles (Jeff Cameron publication) 1982, Dec/Jan. Pictured are two rare, possibly unique Iron City cans. The first is the 6th NJ scene showing Washington Headquarters discussed last month. The second is the Mountaineers can showing dribbling basketball.
